journal writing from a delegate

Today we woke up at 7:00 got ready and went down to meet our group for breakfast. We boarded the bus for a Fijian School. Zach, our delegation manager briefed us about what schooling was like here. There is a primary, or elementary school, secondary or high school and then the university. you have to pass an exam to be able to qualify for a university. when we got to the school, one of the teachers came and got us to take us to the greeting room. The principal then welcomed us and he said a prayer. Then we split into 4 groups and had a tour of their school with some Form 5 (seniors) students. After the tour, we went to have a snack and said goodbye to our tour guides. We went to the classrooms next and I ended up in an art class. They showed us how to make bracelets and other jewelry out of some kind of stuff. Then we had lunch, then went outside for rugby and volleyball and games with the little kids. we did the hokey pokey and sang. After singing we played more games. We went to get our school supplies off the bus. Mark and Rebekah did a presentation of the gifts. They sang for us and we sang for them, We said a prayer shook their hands and hugged them. On our way out they kids chased the bus and waved at us. we had a awesome day.
